Civil engineering

Our areas of expertise in structural engineering

ZÜBLIN builds sophisticated industrial facilities and industrial buildings – ranging from production and logistics centres to complex power stations featuring heavy steel structures. In civil engineering, we combine technical expertise, modern planning methods and bespoke solutions to meet industrial requirements. Whether it’s a new build, an extension or a modernisation project.

New building for production, infrastructure and research

ZÜBLIN designs and builds industrial halls, power stations and research centres that are precisely tailored to operational processes. Our solutions combine technical precision with economic efficiency – from concept development through to turnkey handover.

Expansion and modernisation of existing industrial sites

We provide comprehensive support for industrial projects and ensure that extensions and modernisation works are implemented smoothly whilst operations continue. In doing so, we rely on digital planning (BIM, LEAN) to coordinate processes efficiently and to take project requirements into account at an early stage in both the planning and execution phases.

Digital planning in structural engineering

Our building engineering projects take into account requirements relating to building services, the use of materials and future use right from the early planning stages. Through the use of digital methods such as BIM and LEAN Construction, planning and execution processes can be efficiently co-ordinated, whilst supporting collaboration amongst all project stakeholders. Depending on the project, the requirements of national or international certification schemes such as DGNB or LEED can also be taken into account.

Areas of expertise in civil engineering (structural works)

As a reliable partner for complex infrastructure projects, we offer a comprehensive range of civil engineering services. Whether it be railway stations and stops, locks, open-cut tunnels or trough structures: precision is one of our key strengths.

New construction in civil engineering

When constructing new civil engineering structures, the focus is on designing load-bearing structures and building elements in such a way that they can withstand the subsequent structural and functional requirements in the long term. For every project, ZÜBLIN develops a technically sound construction concept that optimally coordinates geological conditions, site logistics, the use of materials and construction methods. Close integration of structural analysis, detailed design and on-site organisation ensures that structures are constructed with precision and that the required load-bearing capacities and serviceability criteria are reliably achieved.

Upgrading and modernisation of existing civil engineering structures

Renovation work in civil engineering requires in-depth analysis and structural engineering expertise, as existing structures often need to be adapted or reinforced whilst remaining in use. ZÜBLIN assesses the structural condition, determines relevant load assumptions and, based on this, designs cost-effective packages of measures – ranging from structural maintenance to functional expansion. Through precise interventions, optimised construction schedules and coordinated construction techniques, the infrastructure remains safe to use even during the modernisation phase and is upgraded to meet future requirements.

Planning certainty and efficiency in civil engineering

Civil engineering focuses on forward-looking planning, durable structures and cost-effective operational processes. Digital tools such as BIM, as well as coordinated planning and construction processes, promote transparency and efficiency throughout all project phases. Particularly in the case of complex infrastructure projects such as tunnels, transport routes or hydraulic structures, structured processes help to ensure that technical, scheduling and economic requirements are reliably met.
